Wish I Were You Lyrics

Wish I Were You

Patty Smith---Wish I Were You 

 

 

 Time goes by 

 I fall out of touch 

 I can't explain 

 Why I fall so much 

 I bought a pack of cigarettes 

 Sent an old Elvis stamp to your new address 

 The weather's here 

 With showers, fine 

 Wish that you could read between the lines 

 CHORUS 

 Cause you dream in colors by night 

 Rose and black and blue 

 I'll send a postcard 

 Oh how 

 I wish that I were you 

 I wish I were you 

 Cause I am nothing 

 You are more 

 Than flesh and blood 

 A golden door 

 Let me come inside of you 

 Let me do the things I want to do 

 Now take me down to where you live 

 And take the things I cannot give 

 CHORUS 

 Cause you are like the ocean 

 I'm a river that's run dry 

 If you cannot reach me 

 All my white flowers 

 They will die 

 Now take me down to where you live 

 Take the things I cannot give 

 CHORUS 

 Now take me down to where you live 

 Take the things I cannot give
